Please provide a descriptive session title that is pithy, catchy, and accurately reflects the content of the session (people complain when it doesn’t!). Examples of well-received sessions with catchy titles: Any Given Monday: Winning the Student Engagement Game, Gamification: Why Games are ADDICTIVE and Your Course is NOT, Your Slides are Terrible and Other Presentation Sins, Poll Dancing in the Classroom and Other Tools of Engagement.
In 125 words or less, please provide an accurate description of the session and what participants will enjoy. This abstract will be included in the session listing.

Describe the elements of engagement you will include in your session (e.g., discussion, activities, student response systems, question and answer periods, etc.), especially if your session is primarily a panel or uses a lecture format. One short Q&A session only at the end of your session does not count as adequate engagement.
Please include a short (100 words or less) biography for the session leader that addresses qualifications for leading the proposed session and is written in the third person.
